"There are, after all, atheists who say they wish the fable were true but are unable to suspend the requisite disbelief, or who have relinquished belief only with regret. To this I reply: who wishes that there was a permanent, unalterable celestial despotism that subjected us to continual surveillance and could convict us of thought-crime, and who regarded us as its private property even after we died? How happy we ought to be, at the reflection that there exists not a shred of respectable evidence to support such a horrible hypothesis.”

@BlueSkyKing Hitchens had no idea what he was talking about. Sad to say. His brother Peter has a much clearer understanding though. The fact is that Yahweh is not in the business of condemning people to hell. He is in the business of saving people from themselves. His objective is to rescue His fallen creation and did just that by the death and resurrection of His Son. Atheists aren't very bright individuals so they have to be excused for their ignorance. They share that trait with muslims. Just not very bright at all.
